Company, in which were seated three
ladies, was standing on State House Cir
Gle, in front of the b. & o. Express office
this afternoon, little after three o clock,
waiting for one of the officials in the ex-
press office, the animal took notion to
mount the green terrace, greatly to the
discontinue of the ladies and some chill
dren who were playing near by on the
green sward. The animal had succeed
ed in getting on the terrace having the
dayton with its fair occupants in an
almost perpendicular position. Two of
the ladies scrambled out of the wagon in
double quick time with the assistance of
some gentleman in the neighborhood,
while the other bravely held on the reins.
Fortunately no one was hurt-but two
little "mokes" were scared out of their
wits, and alarmed the neighbor hood with
their Yells.
